Indian and Thai street food cooking classes

This sounds like it could be fun (and delicious): Susan Gordon from Thunder Mountain Curry is teaching classes on "Street Food and Curries" at the Arts Center of the Capital Region. From the blurb for the class on Indian food:

Join Susan Gordon of Thunder Mountain Curry (a regular at The Troy Waterfront Farmer's Market and RPI) as you jump into the exciting world of Southeast Asian cuisine and traditional regional "street food." In this Indian cooking workshop, you'll begin with seasonal fruit chutney, create a simple chicken curry complemented by a vegetable curry, add flavored rice and a flat bread â€" by the end of the evening we will have a complete Indian meal cooked and ready to eat!

That class is on November 3. It's $30 for non-members, with a $10 studio fee.

Gordon is also scheduled to teach a class on Thai street food December 1 and 8. From the blurb:

In this two-session workshop, you'll discover the secrets of Thai street food: dipping sauces, stir fried noodles, corn fritters, satay and a simple salad. The second class will cover various curries: red curry, green curry, and yellow curry â€" they all begin by blending spices into a paste add meat; cook up some black and white sticky rice with coconut cream sauce. Add a simple stir fry, and you'll think you flew to Bangkok!

That class is $60 for non-members, with a $20 studio fee.
